K. Thn debute on the ('vow's Nest Southern Railway hill in tho Railway Committee at Ottawa, snys tin-Toronto (ilolii-, shown that the expected Agreement with the Canadian Pacific Iiiin not been effected. The application ha* I i-i-ii treated hy smut* members hb a request foi' a puhlic favor, a position unite nt variance with llu- attitude of Parliament and thi- people to wai d other productive enterprise*. A railway uhttrter is not regarded us a favor fm whicli compensation shoulil be demanded, On tbe contrary, charters have been almost invariably supplemented by extensive gifts uf laid and money, It may In- that in railway circles this proposal lo huild a line without bonus or subsidy Is regarded as Ikely to establish a bail precedent, If lhe promoters had ask'-d tor a few thousand dollars and a few thousand (101-68 of land per niili- the nun ter would have appeared in a guise far more familiar, if not more attractive, to the public, When men approach Purlin ment lor permission lo Imilil a railway engage in any other line of enier- prise, asking nn bonus, subsidy or olher aid, '.he presumption is strongly In favor of standing aside and letiing them go ahead with their work. Unless some greal public danger is in- volviilorsniue important publlcllilerest is threatened thee is no justification fnr obstructing individual enterprise. Il was an unfortunate and unpardonable mist-.ke to refuse a charter for I lit* Keiile Uiver Railway. The rival in tercet that successfully organized the opposition in that project, and sei in eil i victory in Parliament without the uppori nf a single sustaining argument, has naturally bt lie far more bold, while the confidence of the public, especially the investing class, iu mc Parliamentary representation has been shaken. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company has appealed openly in opposition the, proposed Citiw's Nes' Southern Kailway. and has negotiated wilh the promoters a-, io the terms upon which its opposition would In- withdrawn. It has acted throughout this matter as If it held the Railway Commit tee in its pocket, and its successful obstruction in Ilie pasl. has la-en ibe wjiriani for that attitude. The pretension apolitical influence in ihe distribution of patronage for the purpose of securing ewards b r the granting of Governmental contracts or olher favors has lieen made a criminal act; and itis the duiy of Parliament to deal with pretensions to control over a standing committee su as to exioit favors in t-tiirn for permitting llu-passage of legislation authorizing tne building cf a railway. When il was seen ibal the ntcrference of the Canadian Pacific Railway in this matter w»- likely lo awaken considerable public indignn lion, the corporation wisely assttiind a mure retiring altitude, and luis lale ly been content lo act by proxy in bringing ohsl i net ive influent es to hear. But iis tad lis seem lo be designed with considerable skill. All ihe thin gers at first depicted have disappeared. All tin- aigutiifiiis iu favor ot nbstruc- lion have been demolished. Hut the same Influences thai defeated the Keitle Hiver Railway charier are strongly in evidence. South of the boundary line it would lm necessary only to tile the requisite plans and notices hefmegoing nu wlih the wnrk. A railway charter is treated hy the State laws in the same way as n building permit is by uur municipal council. If every man who wauled lu laiild a house in Toronto wis forced to secure the passage of a city bylaw, it is easy tn imagine cases in whicli wealthy firms could prevent threatened competition hy iil'Nlriictiiig sin li by laws al the City Hall. A linn desirous of building a factory would encounter opposition promoted in tin- city council by uthers In the saint line of busi liens, That is the nature of the iippo- sii ion developed at Ottawa to Ihe proposed railway connection with the Great Northern, The duly of parliament is plain. The Railway Committee must clear its reputation of th« memory of the Kettle River Railway fiasco, nnd musl iiinke it plain li-yond per- aih tore tbat. the public interest will be paramount in all railway legislation, Were the American system in tiper atlon, were the coal deposits adjacent to tidewater, ns on Vancouver Island or at Cnpe Breton, or were ihey ail tl* utid close to lhe boundary, this ques* tion which threatens to entail a parlia- nieiiiary si niggle could notarise, The proposed railway cannot in any way strengthen a monopoly, for it will leave undisturbed ihe existing lines by wliieh ihe American mirkel is reached. Tin- proposal is discussed jis if ii in- tliltleil tin- tearing lip of all llu- lilies over which the Crow's Nest coal is now | mine cull expect thai i; will, I'nr nil exported to American lailways ami smellers. The chief effect on existing lines will be a reduction of their charges, and that is the cause nf the opposition thnt hns developed, There is no more justification for preventing the building of tbis railway than theic would be fm prohibiting the construction ofa wagon road to the boundary, The plan nf prohibition seeins to have been prudently abandoned, tin- pres* ent means nf exerting pressure Is-ing ihe proposing of conditions apparently fair, hut so ill-signed as to entail loss and waste in the piaulical operation of the mines ami ovens, Mr. Blair has lakeii the stand lhat advantage slinulil be taken of the application hi ns lo secure a giiaiantee tbat Canadian Industries will not he subjected In ad verse discrimination in prices, ami it is announced ou behalf of the coal conipany that tin y are willing to give such guarantees ns arc necessary to ihat end. The power uf ihe Dominion In impose au export duty and tbe authority of lhe piovlneial legislature to levy royalties are abundant guarantees against any policy calculated to awaken local antagonism. There is absolutely no inleiest adverse In Ilie proposed line except the Canadian Pacific Railway, and ils monopoly has nut been used in such a way as In warrant the straining nf tin- powers of parliament to perpetuate ii. re. CAPITAL FOR B. C. Views of a Prominent Mining Man Regarding This Subject. .1. A. Smith, of (irand Forks, who lias lately returned from a trip to the Bast, in an interview al Rossland a few ilnys ago had the following to say regarding cat Ital fnr ilu- developnienl of Hiiiish Columbia : "Both in Canada and the United Stales there was a very strong desire, on the part of tbe moneyed Interests, to invest in Borne remunerative industry, and there was litlle dotlhl Ibat ihey would be more than delighted to send capital In British Columbia if 'be conditions here were such that thev seemed lo iuslifv il. "I will not conceal from you," said Mr, Smith, "that Rossland and the entire districl. have sustained some very serious blows iu the eastern money market by the manner In which some of the properties have heen bandied, hy lbe uncertainty nf the mining laws and the fear nf lahor troubles whicli seem ever in he impending. Added to these is the fact that in the early days of this camp, some five or six years auo, a gieal numher ol 'wild cats' wen- unloaded ou the people uf the Easl, and the loss- ses which tbey then sustained still rankle in ihe breasts of the people. Ii is tine that those 'wild cats' were not in the majority nf cases thrown on the hand.i of the moneyed men. It was as a rule the small investors, the man, anil even the woman, who could not affoiil to lose their little earnings, who were'roped in'anil insl everything in tbis way. Tbe sentiment, however, which was then created against min ing investments in Ihe West has pervaded society in general, li is a fact, nevertheless that then- is no time like the present to bring British Columbia and its mineral resources hefore the capitalists of the Knst. In the larger centres, laitb In Canada and the United Slates, money is lieing withdrawn from real estate Investments, and even loa very considerable extent from intlus Iriiils. and Ihe capital thus realized is seeking fur a new Held nf investment, Millinns and niilliiins nf dollars ale at the present time lying ill the hanks simply for sate keeping anil ale earning noiliing. \\ ith any veal assuianee that, al least, lbe principal wns sale and could be regained a very large por tion of this capital would la- invested quite willingly in mineral properties witli the hope of seeming a return. Before, however, the Eastern capitalists will, to any large extent,risk their money tbey must have an assurance lhat the mining laws nre not only good, but are nnl likely lo he altered at the whim of demagogic legislators or to suit the pally purposes of each succeeding adiniliislralion. People will certainly nut invesi their money wliere tbey see that they are likely to lose it through the existence of bad laws or the continual; unexpected and ruinous changes which are made nl the dictation of this class or Ibal, wbo care nothing for the g-m-ral inlerest and prusperttiy of the couptry, Then, again, the time has cuine when proper- lies, placed tin the market, In order lo olilain any recogniiioii froni investing capital, most to a considerable extent, at least, have been proved, The time of -wild cats' and the time of 'surface insl ant. engage I he al I en I inn nf capital, "Another thing wliieh I cannot dwell on with sufficient einphasi< Is the necessity fnr a community like this to properly keep themselves and I 1 properties before the world, I mean by this in legitimately advertise themselves, to lii the world know what they possess, hut not 'hoom'theinsolves unduly. In this age i' is Impossible to expect the world to turn Its attention to us unless we |el il know that we possess snlllol lling whicli il Wants, If we have gieal milling propel ties in this dislrict, then we slinulil let lhe world know it, and once capital is convinced nf ihe truth of om claim, ii will he anxious lo come here and will pnttr in without nur solicitation, Fur a community like this then lo possess a good newspaper and tn give that paper all the booking possible, it ih uglily generous support.

IV "f '•:, Canada and the Empire. Iu an address delivered some time ago bettire tb" I'oloniiil Institute, Admiral Sir John Coliiiiib, in dealing wilh lhe economic relations which have grown up lietween tbe colonies and the hei land, said : "If in 1800 these islands lunl heen Bubiiieiged, British trade would have totally tlisap- peanil, now Hie effect would he to leave in active operation a British sea trade practically universal in its distri button, and in volume mid value far greater than that of Russia," A con- ■tiii'iunee on these lines is to be looked for until eventually the total trade of Great Britain .vill he less than that of lhe colonies. It would seem tn he only a commonplace uf political wisdom that the colony placing itself iu the closest tiiucb with the motherland will not only re- ceive the initio,al overflow of Briiish population, but will receive as will, and nt the same time, ihe attention of those who control enormous sums of capital which must be invested outside (Ireat Britain, The outlook of each citizen of lbe Briiish empire is not circumscribed liy the borders of the country within which be lives. He is a citizen of a world slate which Includes Canada, Australia,South Africa, India and Egypt, aa well as the Briiish lsler. themselves, Without British trade, it is nut likely that these parts would have continued iu sueh close relations with tin* home centre, or that their material progress would have lieen so great. Certainly, wilhuiii her euor •nulls com ree Stent Britain would unt nave iK'en able lo maintain in any tiling like its present unrivalled statu- the navy, upon whirh rests the hope of every Briiish dependency. So long us the colonies do iheir best towards int'icasing tbe aggregate of British commerce, they are assisting iu keeping up the navy, which Is the protector of thai commerce, Considering lhe natural tendency of British population and Briiish capital io gravitate to Canada when conditions an-sueli as lo favor It, reiiiemlierilig aIsn the general illness of this country —witb its excellent seaboards mi twn oceans, its natural resources and its vast agricultural resources—to assume a progressively mure Important position in tbe empire, the wisdom of the policy whirl) has been adopted of pro- muting irade wilh (ireat Britain, is abundantly justified liy lhc results which are accruing, anil especially iu the Stimulation of the interest uf tbe British peoplu ,n Hm foremost uud most promising of the colonial nations which make up I he empire. Newspaper of the Future. Ur. Alfred HarillSworth, owner ol the London Daily Mail, of London, Kng., and several other papers, in an article lo lbe North American Review, speaks of what he calls "The Simultaneous Newspapers of the Twentieth Century." Mr. Harmsworth expresses the opinion Hint in spile of all the pro I gress that lias been made iu the development of the newspaper hitherto we nre still merely at the fringe of journalistic development, Mr. ilarmswnitli thinks the ordinary newspaper illustration is unnecessary, and many times only used to Iiil space, and he consider- lhe present form nf papers clumsy, und says improved machinery will produce a newspaper which will he a small and neatly indexed publication, Mr. Harmsworth pays a high tribute to the press of the United States us heing in nne respect Iai III advance of the press of his own country, Predicting what the journal of the twentieth century will In-be says j "I feel certain that tbo newspaper of tbe twentieth century will he drawn into the vortex of combination and centralization, In fact, given the man, the capital, tin organization and the occasion, there seems In be no reason why one nr two newspapeis may not presently dominate greal sections of the United Stales, or almosl the whole of Great Britain In other words, where there are now a multitude—good, had audindilfeient ihere will then be one or two greal journals, The methods by which sueh journals would he established wnti'd lie precisely those employed in the formal ion of the ordinary trust. Possessing its own cables, wires, dispatch boats and special trains, Hit- simultaneous newspaper concern would soon have its own paper mills, printing it k factories, machinery shops and the like. The simultaneous newspaper would represent a standard of excellence whirh has never before been attained, and witli its vast resources it would be ahle In carry nut an unprecedented scale of enterprises outside ul the strict newspaper Held." Mr. Harmsworth is stnmgly of the opinion Ihal the newspaper slinulil not bc partisan in a political sense but should endeavor to represent Ibe will of lbe people, Midway Mall Service.
